All the way back in 2019–why does last year seem so long ago??—I attended a three-day religious convention that was all kinds of invigorating and refreshing. I really miss gathering together. Safety first, however. Anyway, planning what to wear to a special event during a Lone Star summer is always interesting. The good thing was …
there, there, my little cabbage.
I've never actually believed in retail therapy. If you're not into shopping anyway (hello, me), the idea of massaging a bad day or a sad mood by walking around a store or even engaging in window shopping wouldn't be the first thing on the list. But the comedy of life is that retail therapy is …
Dressing Room Diaries #1: Stripes and Dots.
Sometimes I go to the store and I try things on. If you know anything about This Square Peg, you'll know that doing that, especially during cold weather or when I'm bloated, hurts me. But baby steps. Anywho, sometimes I buy said outfits, sometimes I don't. I almost always take pics of what I try …

Fabu Fashion Thursday: Jump, Jump
My love affair with jumpsuits continues. I went ahead and wore one to work today. Here it is, compliments of an empty ladies washroom. So until today, it's never dawned on me to wear a jumpsuit to work. I don't know why. I just never thought of it. Perhaps it didn't strike me as providing the …
Fabu Fashion Monday: Sunday Edition
Hi, y'all. Welcome to Monday. Let's move on before I complain about Mondays, shall we? Last night, a lifelong friend of mine and all around amazing woman/entrepreneur held her second annual International Natural Hair Awards (www.naturalhairawards.com). My mom and I attended and we had a blast. I knew, a few days into the event, that I …
Fabu Fashion #5: Casual Friyay Redux (And a Silent Video)
We've come to the end of our Fabu Fashion Week. After these few days of showing you what I'm wearing, I trust that you've come to realize that: I'm basically a simple gal when it comes to fashion. (Perhaps if I lived in my Parisian apartment and was married to you-know-who during the week, you …

Fabu Fashion #3: A Bit of Coral
Warning: I had to snap today's episode of Fabu Fashion in the Villainous Lair of Dark Doom; a.k.a., the ladies room with the terrible lighting. Enter if you dare. I need to tell you how much I love this dress. Ah, I love it. The color, the simplicity, the loveliness. At this point, I'm sure you know where …
Fabu Fashion Thursday.
Hi there. So this week, my plan was to wear clothes that actually fit. Since I've been losing weight for the past few months, a number of my tried and true choices are starting to look like someone is playing a prank on me and sabotaging my outfits. (No one is, by the way, for my …
there’s really no other way to say this…
...I think I have guns. Look at those arms. Look at them. You see some kind of definition there, don't you? Don't you?? I snapped this photo last week in the dressing room of my favorite place, Ross, while trying on that dress. And dare I say it, I think my hanging out with weights …
Fabu Fashion Friday. (Flashback)
We haven't discussed fashion-y stuff in a while, have we? So I wore the following dress earlier in the week to the OK Corral--hence the flashback--and I wanted to share because I love everything about this dress. A few things: pardon the view of le toilette. Such are the risks of bathroom selfies. Secondly, I am …
